Talking Going green

The ecomodder logo's color was stuck in my mind when looking at snow tires, so rather than rattle my 15" steelies with silver or black, I went a different direction

I break necks on the freeway, thats for sure

enjoy..

Look who's back.

I personally wouldn't rock that look but as cfg83 said "Statement Accomplished." What happened to the bed cover?

If you were REALLY thinking of EcoModder, they'd be green racing discs.

Looks neat though, for sure.

Heh heh, that's what I was thinking of doing down the line. The racing disk could have the green-wrench-E bult into the disk :



It could even be (a little) more subtle than the above, with close but different shades of green.

If one of us were going to take our car to a show, this would be a good advertising gimmick.

I never saw the "E" in the logo before! It's hiding in plain sight, like the fedex arrow.

bed cover was never finished.. I usually have a camper shell on it..

I just got it out of the body shop from some old damage to the bed.
I'm waiting on some abs plastic topside bed caps to come and I'll have the shell back on.,.

the pictures I took don't truely show the green, but it mite have been the lack of sunshine..

i tweaked a cell phone picture slightly..
its not dead on, but closer than the others in terms of color..

think 70's Dodge/Plymouth muscle cars.. Sublime/Sassy Grass green..
